Saving your Queenslander

The iconic Queenslander: if the floods didn't affect yours, then one may have been hit in your street. Almost certainly something happened to a Queenslander in the town or city where you live.

So many of us live in a classic Queenslander and, if you haven't seen a Queenslander under water where you live, there have been many sad photographs and images of them on the TV News or newspapers as once again so much of the State went under water.

But how much do you know about the construction of these classic Queenslanders and how would you go about fixing them once they dry out? Last year, Warren Boland spoke to Andy Jenner, a carpenter by trade and now an author by design, who wrote a fascinating and detailed book full of advice, photos and diagrams for owners, restorers and tradesmen alike.
